Pimp's Paradise

Gwen had contacted Fiona to come to the house along with everyone else after she, Pete and Carl had bought back the house. Gwen couldn't wait to rub it in Fiona's face still think I'm selfish? Gwen thought as Fiona drove up and got out of her car along with Sean. Neither Pete or Gwen had seen the inside of the house yet but wanted to see the look on Fiona's face when she came by.

"What's going on?" Fiona demanded as she walked up to Gwen.

"Me and Carl bought back the house." Gwen said in a deadpan tone, "You're welcome."

"Wh-what? You guys bought back the house? How?"

"With the money me and Pete saved up and had leftover, along with the money Carl brought in a bag. Now the kids have their home again. Still think I'm selfish, Fiona?" Gwen arched an eyebrow at her.

Fiona looked stunned and struggled to find the words.

"We-well, I don't know what to say." She stammered out.

"How about 'I'm sorry' and maybe 'thank you?'" Gwen suggested sarcastically.

".... I'm sorry for thinking about the -"

"No!" Gwen cut her off, crossing her arms, "Say you were wrong to accuse me of being selfish when all I've ever done is help you raise these kids and never once heard you say 'thank you'."

Fiona said nothing at first, but Sean interjects, "Just say it, Fiona. Don't make this difficult."

"Fine." Fiona signed, "Gwen, I'm-"

"Wait! Wait!" Pete interrupted, pulling out his phone as Evie giggled standing next to him, as she held her father's hand.

When he pressed record, he said, "Oookkkaayyy... Go!"

Fiona glares at him, rolling her eyes before signing heavily and slowly said, "Gwen, I'm sorry."

"For?"

"For accusing you of being selfish.... I was just suffering from the hormones and didn't know what I was saying..."

"And?"

"Thank you for buying back the house and everything else...." Fiona finally finished, and Gwen pulled her into a quick hug.

"Apology accepted." Gwen said while embracing her sister, "See? That wasn't so hard, was it? Also, the house is under my name now." Gwen said that last line after pulling away and walked towards the house, leaving Fiona froze in shock before quickly recovering and following her sister with Sean following as well.

"Wait- what?!"

"I had to. It seemed right considering me and Carl bought back the house, not you." Gwen stated as she walked past her fiancé as he picked their daughter off the ground as they walked up the porch steps to the front door, Sean and Fiona following.

"B-but you have your own house! How are you gonna handle owning two houses?!"

"Have you just met me?" Gwen asked, smugly as she opened the front door and was shocked to find people in it, "Ooookkkaaay, I had no idea these people were inside."

"Uh, excuse me, what the hell are you doing?" Fiona asked one of the men at the stairs as they installed a slide next to it.

"Slide!" Evie cheered trying to run up the stairs but Pete stopped her as she squirmed in his arms.

"Who are you?" The man asked.

"This is my house."

"No, it's my house." Gwen corrected, kind of enjoying the irritated look Fiona gave her.
